Kerrie Basara's Lesson Plan
Overview: This lesson will introduce students to the Philadelphia Zoo through the use of a historic poster and a current photograph.
Standards: This lesson will focus on reading, listening, and speaking. The students will learn to listen to others, evaluate the sources presented, speak with clear and understandable pronunciation, and contribute to the large group discussion.
Goals:
The students will be able to scan, examine, and analyze a historical poster and a current photograph from the Philadelphia Zoo. The students will be able to compare and contrast a historic poster and a current photograph from the Philadelphia Zoo. The students will work collaboratively in groups and contribute to both small and large group discussion.
Procedures:
1. The teacher will display the following page on the smart board: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/cph.3b51495/. This poster was used to advertise the Philadelphia Zoo and was published between 1936 and 1941. Students will study the poster and complete the SEA worksheet to describe the poster. 2. The teacher will display the following page on the smart board: http://www.philadelphiazoo.org/phila/Videos-and-Photos/Photo-of-the-Week/07-6-2010.htm. This photograph is the Philadelphia Zoo photo of the week from July6, 2010. Students will study the photograph and complete the SEA worksheet to describe the photograph. 3. The students will then be paired with a partner and will utilize their individual SEA worksheets to collaborate on a Venn Diagram that compares and contrasts the two visual images.
4. The class will come back together as a large group and discuss their Venn Diagrams and analysis of both the historical poster and a current photograph from the Philadelphia Zoo.
Assessment:
Completed SEA worksheets and Venn Diagrams will be collected.

JoelF's Lesson Plan
Objectives
(Specify skills/information that will be learned.)
Students will identify the various ways that the media influenced the decision of many Americans to take an active role in taking part in the Second World War.
Course text/discussion explaining the situation in the U.S. and America circa 1933 to 1941.
News reel video and radio broadcasts
Verification
Student understanding will be formatively assessed through the duration of the unit through daily journal entries, and the final project will be presented to the class as a summative assessment.
Students will be required to keep a daily journal of new material learned in each unit. It will be checked for completion biweekly.
Students will use SEA worksheets to scan, examine, and analyze at least 3-4 pictures and 3-4 posters. (3 classes)
They will then create one of three different activites: (4-5 classes)a.) 1-minute podcast in which they develop a speech to persuade citizens to get involved in the war effort,b.) develop their own original poster about a war effort activity that they feel is most necessary,c.) short 30-second video clip using still photos which influences the audience to become involved. Each student will be asked to explain his rationale for the message in a brief 5 – 10 sentence paragraph.
Summary
Students will engage in examining pictures, posters, and possibly radio broadcasts, sketching notes and observations about each in order to make a model media product and present what they’ve learned.

Life at Home During World War II (Ruth's Lesson Plan)
. Objective: Students will consider how the lives of ordinary Americans were affected by the war effort during World War II. Procedure:
Have students use the NARA worksheet to examine the poster and answer questions. Their worksheets are uploaded using the assignment tool.
What else did Americans during World War II do to support the war effort? Why were those actions important? Students are directed to several posters that would help them to gather ideas and information related to how World War II changed the lives of ordinary Americans. http://www.floridamemory.com/FloridaHighlights/wwiiposters/wwiiposter.cfm
After examining the posters, students post a blog entry that explains what they found. They are also asked to add a comment to the blog posting of another student.
Using a NARA worksheet, students examine a photo for details and offer possible explanations for what they see in the photo. Students submit their completed worksheets to the teacher using the assignment tool. [Obtain the photo from this web page: http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/vogas.htm ]
Interview assignment. Students are asked to find someone who lived during World War II and ask them how people were affected by the war effort at home. Each student then posts another blog entry in order to report what they found out from the interviews. They read the blog postings of their classmates, and add a comment to two of those postings, using this guiding question: "How are the recollections of this person similar or different to the person you interviewed?"
